An unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player for Linux versions 10.0.12.36 and 9.0.151.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by enticing a user to open a crafted SWF file. The vulnerability is likely due to improper handling or parsing of SWF file content, leading to code execution in the context of the user running the Flash Player.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a command execution vulnerability (CVE-2008-5499) in Adobe Flash Player for Linux (versions 10.0.12.36 and 9.0.151.0 and prior). The exploit works by serving a malicious SWF file to a victim's browser. If the victim has a vulnerable version of Flash Player and Adobe AIR installed, the SWF file abuses the ActionScript launch method to execute arbitrary shell commands on the victim's system. The module sets up an HTTP server that delivers the SWF file and an HTML page embedding it. The exploit is operational, providing command execution via browser exploitation. The code references several fingerprintable endpoints, including the SWF payload file and URLs related to Flash Player. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
